Besides being mooned in the tube a lot of funny conversations happen on the underground. today on my way back from wimbledon (that's where the tennis match is held) i sat across from four ladies who were obviously not from london. one can tell these things because they were chatty cathy's, a rarity in these city streets. they were talking about the prostitutes that had just rented their lower flat. the conversation was hilarious. i almost couldn't contain my laughter. the best part was that the women were horrifed that these women would share the same washing machine and toilet (apparently there are six). i should have chimed in to inform them that nottinghill residents don't get much better (sharing bathrooms with the whole house --15 people!).
interesting point: my electricity is paid through a coin slot on the wall. one pound per turn, three turns per week. i love it!
living in london while broke is no fun but today was the day of deals. £6 and 50p's later i have a pair of pants and clear studs for nose for starbuck's training tomorrow. they still haven't hired me but they want me to prove myself on the floor before they even consider my application.
the rain won't stop and i'm sick but that won't slow me down (or it won't anymore). trying to stay positive is hard when it's freezing. i found this perfect jumper (aka-sweater) at a thrift store for £6 but i needed pants more for work and therefore it has been sacrificed until i get paid.
i need people to send me emails. i miss stories from home. let me know what's going on friends- i do love you dearly.

your life has become a great story to read...good luck at starbuck's!!
Sunday afternoon I practically forced my younger brother to take me sailing. he was convinced there wouldn't be any wind... Anyway, we got out on the water, and the wind was perfect and we were zipping along just wonderfully. We spent a good hour on the water, and then the wind picked up and the lake got incredibly choppy. The boat we sail on is shorter than a canoe, flat on top (you just sit on it) and about 3 inches above the water. We kept tipping and grazing the lake, so we decided to go in. We were turning the boat around when a huge gust of wind caught the sail, and wouldn't you know it... we tipped right over. (Capsized is the correct word.)My brother had to stand on the boat and flip it... and all these rednecks were circling us asking things like "did you guys tip over" "can we help y'all... no, okay bye..." and once we got the boat back to normal, three girls near us yelled "DO IT AGAIN!!!"
I lost my cell phone and a towel, but saved everything else. it was a great experience. everyone should tip over once in their life...
